as president obama's poll ratings improve, hospital stocks are also going higher. what is the trade ahead of the november vote? let's bring in the managing director at crt capital. she covers hospitals and other health care stocks. great to have you on our show today, cheryl. to what extent are hospitals and health care at this stage a purely political play? >> well, there is a fundamental argument here that there's easy comps but there's no question that the market was very, very happy to ignore those fundamentals for quite some time this summer until the conventions. if you look at the performance of the stock post-convention, i'm sure either of the candidates would have loved to have had that kind of a bounce. hca in particular is up very, very strongly. it's had a sequence of events at hca and tenet over the past year that have restore investor confidence after a dreadful summer last year. but the fact of the matter is that this is about at pure a play as you're going to get on the fate of the election. i think if you watch this debate very closely on wednesday

same score in the new politico poll. obama by two, 49%/47%. "the new york times" this weekend reported on the two campaigns' ongoing debate preps. here is what they said about romney's prep. quote, mr. romney's team has concluded that the debates are about creating moments and has equipped him with a series of zingers he's memorized and has been practicing on aides since august. bob shrum, you have been on that particular role, preparing candidates for debate. what do you make of romney, a rather stiff customer to begin with, coming off as sort of a henny youngman or whatever, some sort of a don rickles with some zingers. i don't think of him as a zinger kind of guy where obama is expected to be left helpless. what do you make of that strategy? >> first of all, if you had it, you wouldn't announce it. it's kind of stupid. >> why are they leaking it? >> i don't know. because they're trying to hold onto their people, they're undisciplined, i have no idea. number two, zingers don't exist in a vacuum. it's not just coming up with some funny lines.
